“Something” last night was watching another episode of “House.” I have 37 inches knit on Reign’s fuzzy scarf and 7 1/4 inches knit on a wool ribbed hat that I planned to give for the Indian project. The more I think on it, wool might not be a good idea because if it gets tossed into a washing machine and dryer, it will felt and shrink and be useless. As nice as it would be to use up some of this wool yarn, I guess it is best to save it for the A4A projects.
I had hoped to get my Recovery Disks done on the new computer today but I couldn’t seem to find a stopping point with the computer work. I can’t be doing anything on the computer when that is going on. Until that is done I can’t install my Windows 7 upgrade. Maybe tomorrow…. I’ll just have to force myself back into the other room while it is doing its thing. I seriously need to get in the sewing mode but I can’t seem to get out of the knitting mode.
I still have 94 pages left to read on the current Miss Zukas book I’ve been plodding through since October 17th. It just today caught my attention that the three brothers in the story are named Franklin, Delano, and Roosevelt. Right on top of things, aren’t I? On the way to rehearsal tonight I listened to a new audiobook called “One Good Turn” by Kate Atkinson. This is the first of her books I’ve read and I’m not overly impressed so far. As Publisher’s Weekly wrote, “pieces of plot fall through the cracks between repeatedly shifting points of view.” But this was one I paid for so I’ll feel obligated to finish it.
I arrived at church early and found Debi and Wendy knitting away. She was hoping Wava would be there to help her with her sock project. Wava got her started on knitting two socks at the same time on two circular needles. I have a DVD here that someone gave me on that subject so I guess I need to loan it to her. She told me that her husband Joel got us reservations for Friday night when we go to the Christian Music Summit. That is quickly approaching.
Larry P was leading rehearsal tonight. He was sick last weekend and I hear Larry H has been off work with the bug this week. Looks like it will be a struggle to keep from getting something. As I drove home, I noticed there were a lot of branches, leaves, etc., on the road that I didn’t see on the drive to church. It seems there was a pretty good windstorm while we practiced and I never heard a thing. It had passed by time we came outside to go home. Bill said that Barbara called to see if we had power. Hers went out around seven and was out for awhile. At least her generator comes on when it goes out. The lights were blinking here before I left so I turned off the computer. Bill said there was period blinking of the lights but the power never went off.
Today was marred by the horrific happenings at Fort Hood. We have a young man from our church who is stationed there but so far as I know, he is fine. It’s amazing how many psychiatrists and psychologists seem to have mental issues. I was glad to hear that the young woman who was the first responder to the situation was not killed as was first reported. At any rate, my thoughts and prayers are with all those whose lives have been affected by this event.
Sometimes, Lord, I just have to cry. Amen.
